About This Book

A resourceful teenage wireless hobbyist, facing pressure to enter factory work, turns his technical skill to outdoor service with a forest fire patrol. The narrative follows his summers in the woods: learning forestry, fighting and investigating fires, trailing timber thieves and an arsonist, establishing a secret camp, and using wireless communication and clues such as thumb-prints to solve crimes. Episodes include wilderness travel, a bear encounter, fishing, promotion within the patrol, and a final resolution that protects timber and affirms conservation and self-reliance.
